Lost CDs near State Street, Santa Barbara

I lost my CDs on Friday around 8:15 p.m., while I was strolling along State Street near the Santa Barbara Mission. It’s a small, sentimental mix—indie rock and a few old jazz records—that I pull out when I need a mood boost after a long day. I must have left my backpack open when I ducked into a coffee shop for a quick refill. I'm hoping someone who found them drops them somewhere safe; losing them feels like losing a part of my routine.

LOST radios in Santa Barbara, CA

I was packing up after a sunset walk on Saturday around 6:15 p.m., when I realized my radios were missing from my bag. They are two compact handheld devices, one black with a blue trim and a dent near the speaker. I likely dropped them somewhere along State Street, maybe near Stearns Wharf, and I am heart-sick thinking of looking there again at dusk. They have been part of my photography setup for weeks, and losing them feels like losing a small piece of a hobby I love. If you found them, please hold onto them; I would be grateful to get them back through the site.

Lost chargers near Stearns Wharf, Santa Barbara

Hi, I am Mia Thompson. I left my chargers on a bench near Stearns Wharf around 4:15 PM on Tuesday. The tiny orange cable and a black USB-C block are all I want back, especially since they power my work laptop on trips. I retraced the pier and State Street, but the bench is long gone from memory. It would mean a lot to me to have them back.

lost Equipment for Various Sports near East Beach

Hi, I'm Grace Kim. I lost my equipment for various sports around 6:30 p.m. Friday near the East Beach basketball courts along Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara. It was in a black duffel bag with a red drawstring; inside was a soccer ball, a tennis racket, and a pair of basketball shoes. I've been depending on this gear for weekend practices and a local league, and it's stressing me out to be without it. I last had the bag near the lifeguard stand, then walked to Shoreline Park before realizing it was gone. If found, please know it's mine and I hope to have it back soon.

Lost travel adapters

Hi, I'm Sofia Martinez. I lost my travel adapters while wandering along State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, near Stearns Wharf. I had stopped for a quick coffee and was jotting notes for a trip when I realized the adapters were missing. They are essential for staying connected, and I am anxious about making the next leg of my journey without them. If anyone picked them up, I would be grateful to know so I can arrange a pickup through the site.

Found blue Nike swim trunks near East Beach

I found a pair of blue Nike swim trunks this afternoon around 2:15pm near the bike racks by East Beach in Santa Barbara. They're men's size M, navy blue with a white Nike swoosh on the left leg and orange piping along the sides. The fabric is clean and in good condition, just a bit sandy from the beach, with no rips or tears. There's a small inner zipper pocket on the right hip, which helps identify them. If this is yours, I’d love to help get them back—tell me a distinguishing detail like the lining color or any logos you remember.
